What the AI looks for in Catalog Racks & Reference Racks
- Pocket size
- Match the pocket to your literature: letter (8.5 x 11 in), half-letter or tri-fold brochure (about 4 x 9 in) Wrong pocket sizes let items slump or hide the headline.
- Mounting format
- Choose desktop, wall or floor; floor racks for 10 or more pockets in public areas Placement decides capacity and how many people can reach it.
- Load capacity
- For heavy catalogs and reference binders, choose steel over thin acrylic Plastic pockets bow and crack under thick catalogs.
- Adjustable pockets
- Prefer racks with removable dividers if your item sizes vary One rack can then hold both full sheets and brochures.
Brands that matter
- Safco: Steel, wood and acrylic racks for offices and lobbies.
- Deflecto: Clear plastic brochure and literature holders.
What to avoid
- Thin acrylic floor racks in high-traffic lobbies, where they crack and tip
